And THAT'S why there is some things in there that I feel are controversial. I think this book was written for non-Muslims and non-Arabs so that they may sympathize with those groups. On the other hand, I don't think I am the audience for this book. They went through some hardcore s*** and still believed and followed their religious practices.
That's why I love the stories of the prophets of my faith. Stories about believers dying and standing up for their faith are much more inspirational and encouraging to me. Because for a person like me, reading about someone else's cowering and fear actually only makes me more self-conscious about my religious identity too. Not every Muslim hides their faith and for once I would like to read a book about a girl proud of her religion and standing up for it as the main character (man vs world instead of man vs self). On the other hand, I am really disappointed by the portrayal of my religion in this book. You see, I am a Muslim girl growing up (living) in the United States so I get the whole growing up between two cultures thing. In fact, the main character is quite annoying. Maybe it's because I already passed this phase in my life that I didn't find it very relatable. Not every Muslim hides their faith and for once I would like to read a book about a girl proud o eeeeeehhh. Even if it means pushing her friends away because she's afraid to let them know her dad forbids her from hanging out with boys or that she secretly loves to play the darabuka (Arabic drums).moreĮeeeeehhh. She doesn't want to be seen as a stereotypical Muslim girl, so she does everything possible to hide that part of herself. I should win an Oscar for my acting skills.
